Re: 94 wrangler frame rot concern
My 86 CJ7 is rotted back there too. Big time. The cross member is even
falling off and the gas tank skid plate fell off while I was off
roading.
A Jeep shop said he can just put square tube over pieces and weld them
in place, then put the shackle hanger on it.
I snapped my frame due to rust up front on the drivers side behind the
front spring hanger and he angle plated it nicely. It is holding sweet.
I need a new frame..... :-(
But the band aids will keep me wheeling for now.....

Na. Bill doesn't know the difference between an TJ and a YJ from
the *** end. :-) He has to see it from the front to be dangerous. :)
This TJ looks creamed from the rear and the side. The original
owner got hit in the rear on my YJ. Oh yea, wrong color, right. :)
